You're using V1.0, but you need V1.1 without a header.

i also haveing problem with tsukuyomi, or to precise with hiro (win) libs...
erm, these problem were OS related as it only shows on my win98se machine, while on other XP machine it show no problem whatsoever.

first i got this:
  • Image
after recommenting the SetLayeredWindowAttributes() function then recompiling it, i managed into this:
  • Image
however, when i click "Browse" nothing happened...
anyway i decided to type the filenames directly then hit "Apply", luckly it works.

anyway, thanks for the excelent Der Langrisser patch, i can understand the story. :D

None of my software is compatible with Windows 98 anymore, sorry. It's too old, and I want features that are only in NT variants.

Glad you got it working anyway, though.

What kind of NT specific features are you using in a 'seemingly simple' application out of curiosity?

Possibly uses Unicode functions, which require Windows NT. Windows 9x implements them, but they don't really work.

There's also layered windows, which require Windows 2000 or newer, but that's probably a poor excuse.

I am having trouble patching the der langrisser file. I am using the ups file, and the der langrisser v1.1. I dont know how to eliminate the header, but i dont think its the issue with this. When i try to apply the patch i get this message...

To directly patch source file, a temporary file is being made.
Upon successful patching, the target file will be replaced with this.

Failed! Input file is invalid.


Please byuu help me! lol

Use NSRT to remove the header. It's more important if the file is a valid dump.. which you could use NSRT for as well.

It's not the application, it's the library underneath.

1) SHBrowseForFolder / OpenFile parameters that are NT-specific
2) UTF-8 (automatically converted to UTF-16) -- should work on Win98SE, but not on Win95 without Unicode for Windows
3) Alpha translucency (on Linux as well! Much better looking there as the controls retain full alpha.)
4) I use AlphaBlend which is only available OOTB on Win98+
5) I do a lot of things that Win9x doesn't like due to underlying API differences, like invoke window procedures directly, rather than through that indirect wrapper thing.

For the most part, as you've seen, you can make it work with some minor changes. But I:
A) don't have Win98 to test for regressions on
and
B) don't care to develop for yet another platform, one which is over ten years old now.

I really don't mind if people want to keep using Win9x for whatever reason, but I unfortunately don't have the resources to support them.

This isn't directed at anyone specific -- but please don't complain about the work I do provide everyone free of charge and to the public domain just because it doesn't have something you personally want. Anyone is welcome to add back Win98 support and release their own version if they like.
Please byuu help me! lol
You don't have the right DL v1.1 ROM. I'd recommend trying NSRT to scan the ROM, it can also remove headers. Is Nach's page back up with that without needing to edit HOSTS yet? Or does anyone know of another good place to get it?

It actually helps to try it out before wondering whether or not it doesn't work. You want to be running the frontend (nf.exe) for your own good.

ok so i have one more question, i played the gen version of langrisser 2, and there was a cheat that let you use all the spells and move infinite amount of times, is there a cheat like that for this one? I only ask because the last time i was playing a lvl i got stuck because one of the girls that had to stay alive kept walking into the range of lava flow and dying i had to start over, so just to have a back up, does it exist?

There's a cheat menu accessible after the game is load, and it helps a lot when you rename the cheat file to match the game's filename.

1) Rename the cht file to match the original game. "Der Lang.smc" expects "Der Lang.cht".
2) Put this file in the save directory, and if there isn't one, put it in the same folder the game is in.
3) Load up the game as normal, then goto the Cheat->Add Code.
4) Hit the Load button. If nothing appears, most likely you didn't do the first two steps correctly. When the stuff does appear, you should toggle the stuff on if you want those cheats to operate.

It also helps to RTFM for the answers your seek.
